BAXTER, ON - What a blast we had with the RBPCO (Rare Breed Performance Club of Ontario) on Sunday May 6th, as Aly was entered in their Herding Instinct Test. Talk about fun! Within seconds Aly's naturing herding instict kicked in and it was off to the races rounding up some sheep in Baxter, Ontario.
Under the watchful eye of the instructor, Aly passed with flying colours and was given some very kind compliments on her potential for completing other levels of Herding competition. Hopefully to follow in Aly's mother's footstep (Faith - who has her Junior Herding Dog Title!).
Aly will not bear the suffix HIC to her formal title, and joins her housemate Gunner as Team Bold Canine members with their HIC certification. In either the fall or the spring of 2008 Lola will be taken to have a go at the Herding.
Aly's next "working"/"obedience" titles are to try for her CGN (Canine Good Neighbour) and for her TD (Therapy Dog) with St. Johns Ambulance in the fall (just like her housemate Lola).
